Tottenham prepare €80 million bid for Nico Paz amid interest from Real Madrid
Tottenham Hotspur is ready to invest heavily to strengthen its midfield. The English club is preparing a proposal of €80 million (around R$509 million) to sign Nico Paz, the 19-year-old Argentine who has been standing out at Como.
Spurs turn to Nico Paz after failed attempts
With James Maddison sidelined due to a serious injury, Tottenham has made the recruitment of a creative midfielder its top priority. The club had already pursued Eberechi Eze, who ended up signing with Arsenal, and Morgan Gibbs-White, but both negotiations fell through. Paz has now become the main target.
Real Madrid still in the race
The biggest obstacle for Spurs is Real Madrid, who hold priority clauses in the Argentine’s contract and continue to closely monitor his development. Florentino Pérez reportedly sees Paz as a strategic player for Madrid’s future, which could complicate Tottenham’s plans.
Market battle for the Argentine talent
Paz was one of the highlights in Como’s Serie A campaign under Cesc Fàbregas, with 35 appearances, nine goals, and six assists last season. His versatility allows him to play both as a classic playmaker and in more advanced roles, increasing his value on the market.
In addition to Tottenham and Real Madrid, clubs such as Juventus and Atlético de Madrid are also monitoring his situation. However, Spurs are the only team so far to prepare a concrete, big-money offer.
